Car seems to heat up pretty quick, i.e. blowing warm(ish) air about a minute after driving off. Not had any issues with BMW Remote getting commands to the car but yep, precondition of limited use in UK.

OK, so looks like there is little point to this in the winter, maybe of use on a hot summers day, all 2 of them!

That's about the size of it. In fact on a hot summer's day you're probably better off just doing the unlock/hold thing to open all windows/sunroof as you unlock the car, then just manually pop the A/C on as you get in. The few times I did use the precondition option this summer, the car was still stuffy when I got in... just with the fan going!
